Lamuri (or Lambri) was a kingdom in northern Sumatra, Indonesia during the Srivijaya period.[1] The area was inhabited by Hindu population around the seventh century.[2] There is also evidence of Buddhism.[3] It was known to the Chinese in the 12th-13th century as Lamuri, and to Arabs in the late first millennium as Al-Ram(n)i, Ramri, or Ramli.[1]
